SCWIST member Karen Kavanagh co-publishes world’s tiniest book

Nanoscientists Li Yang and Karen Kavanagh from Simon Fraser University, together with independent Vancouver publisher Robert Chaplin and author Malcolm Douglas Chaplin, presented their minimasterpiece this month: Teeny Ted from Turnip Town. At 0.07 by 0.10 millimetres, it’s so small you’d need an electron microscope to read it. At thirty pages, it’s still pretty substantial for a dream book about a turnip tale. Small, but powerful, this book has made headlines around the world.
